Court Eligibility
The Royal House Leadership of The First Academy determined that it is
important to recognize a variety of students, giving more students the
opportunity to be on the court. Therefore, students who are selected for
Homecoming Court will not be eligible for Homecoming Court again until
their senior year. This decision will ensure that more students are recognized
and highlighted throughout the year.2018 Homecoming Court Freshman Class Cameron Koon Tristan Merritt Mallory McDonald Everett Simpson Sophomore Class Mikayla Guidice Burton Pringle Tiffany Rojas Tyler Crump Junior Class Mariana Alemany Ryan Oliver Isabel Crist Rafe Thomas Catherine Harris Alex Shields Senior Class Abigail Moore Matthew Edwards Lindsey Newsom Sutton Hardy Macy Laegeler Cooper Billsborough McKenzie VandenBrekel Grant Spears
